Introducing Make It Market Kit: Party Pops by Betsy Veldman

We are thrilled to present Betsy Veldman's new Make It Market Kit! Just wait until you see all the details!

The next Make It Market Kit will be released on April 1st and it is entitled "Party Pops". Betsy has once again outdone herself! Party Pops is all about interactive birthday cards, tags, favors, gift wrap, decor and anything else you can dream up! Just wait until you see these dies! They provide several options for creating different types of interactive cards — pop-ups, lift-the-flap, and SO much more! These could potentially be THE most innovative products that Betsy has designed to date! She has even invented some clever tools to turn colorful cupcake wrappers into works of art. If there was ever a kit you didn't want to miss out on, it would be this one!

Here are some additional details about each of the fabulous products individually!

The stamp set practically steals the show with a trendy cupcake, gorgeous star frame and fun balloon images.

However, my favorite part has to be this sentiment! The mix of fonts and the amazing styling really make it unique! I'm always looking for fresh sentiments to use for the many birthday cards I create, and this stamp certainly fits the bill!

Here are a few measurement references for you regarding this set…

Star frame measures 3" square

Assembled cupcake measures 2-3/8" x 2-1/2"

Assembled balloons measure 2-1/4" x 2"

Assembled candles w/ banner measure 2-1/2" x 2-3/8"

Banner alone measures 2-3/8" x 5/8"

"Close your eyes and make a wish." sentiment measures 2" x 1"

This kit has a TON of dies that are innovative and produce results that will be unforgettable for any recipient! Let me start with the Party Pop Ups collection! Here are some basic measurements for your reference:

circle die measures 4" in diameter

balloons measure 2-1/4" x 2"

candles measure 2-1/2" x 2-3/8"

cupcake measures 2-3/8" x 2-1/2"

This collection of dies allows you to make amazing pop-up elements with both the patterned papers and stamps included in the kit. One way of creating the pop-up interactive elements is with the included circle die. This large 4" circle has score-lines that also function as reference lines for lining up the different pop-up shaped dies. The detailed confetti cut-outs in the circle just take this die over the top!

Here is a video Betsy put together showing exactly how these innovative dies work together.

You can get lots of different looks with these pop-up dies by adding them to the interior of your card as well.

It is especially easy to do this when using the scalloped card base die and rectangular mat die together. Just a few cuts and everything will assemble together perfectly with no measuring and little effort!

Betsy takes you step-by-step through this process in her video here…

After all of that, can you believe that there is still more?!?!?

The Party Pops Basics die collection contains dies for each of the three main stamp images to be turned into hinged window openings, complete with a lift tab! There's also a stitched scalloped note card with a coordinating mat layer. As I mentioned before, having these two dies to layer with each other for exterior and interior interactive features makes the work that much quicker! Here are some measurements for your reference:

As you can see here, the cupcake is stamped onto a die-cut card front panel….

and when you lift the little tab you can open it for a little surprise. Besides using the coordinating stamps included in the kit, you could also tuck cash or other special gifts!

Here is Betsy's tutorial on how easy it is to use these dies to create this type of interactive feature!

Aren't these just amazing! Betsy has a few more dies up her sleeve as well!

These clever dies are designed to be used with baking cups/cupcake liners to create amazing textured paper flowers! Take a look at these samples from Betsy!

Be prepared to have your mind blown by what Betsy shows you in her tutorial below!

Of course, the kit wouldn't be complete without some colorful, fun cupcake liners to use with these dies! Betsy has hand-selected some amazing ones to work with!

The kit includes 25 large cupcake liners, 5 each of 5 designs. These are what would fit in a normal sized muffin tin, or about 3" across at the widest point. Each one measures about 4-3/8" in diameter when flattened out to die-cut.

There are also 25 mini cupcake liners, 5 each of 5 designs. These are what would fit in a mini muffin tin or about 2" across at the widest point. Each one measures about 2-3/4" in diameter when flattened out to die-cut.

Not only can the cupcake liners be used for die-cutting flowers, you can also pair them up with a sphere (foam, clay, etc…) to make a keepsake cupcake for decoration. Of course, they wouldn't be complete without a cherry on top…

Betsy sourced these adorable little miniature cherries. They are made of a soft, squishy silicone coming in at a petite 3/8" x 7/8" on average. You get three of these cuties to enjoy in your kit!

What could be more perfect for packaging up a beautiful three-dimensional cupcake creation than an official cupcake box? This hinged aqua box with scalloped window at the top can hold one large cupcake or 4 mini cupcakes. The box will arrive flat in your kit, but once assembled it measures 4" x 4" x 4".

The patterned paper collection included in this kit is really the *icing on the cake*.

Betsy has only selected the absolute BEST for this kit, so she selected a high quality linen paper for her bright and colorful patterned paper collection to be printed on! Besides the festive patterns, the collection even includes 6 pages (3 designs, 2 sheets each) of pre-printed elements that can be used with the circle die and the coordinating pop-up dies!

Here are a few details about the Party Pops paper collection…

The papers measure 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"

There are 18 sheets included, 2 sheets each of 9 designs.

This is printed on a very high quality white linen cardstock.

6 of the pages feature pre-printed elements that coordinate with the circle and pop-up dies also included in the kit.

Just for fun, there is an assortment of colorful pom poms includes in the kit. These are great for accenting the cupcakes, scattering on a card front as you would sequins, or anything else you dream up! These vary in size between 3/8" and 1/4" in diameter. Colors will vary with each kit, with the assortment containing about 8-10 of the 3/8" pom poms and 3-5 of the tiny 1/4" pom poms.

And how fun are these gold sparkle pom poms! They come in a bit bigger at 5/8" diameter. You will get 4-5 of these in your pom pom assortment.

As one last finishing touch for this kit, Betsy selected this colorful raffia. It is so fun to have this texture to play with instead of ordinary ribbon! You will get FIVE colors of this gorgeous stuff, 2 yards of each color for a total of 10 yards of raffia. The colors coordinate *fairly well* with the Papertrey colors, Raspberry Fizz, Berry Sorbet, Orange Zest, Hawaiian Shores and Ripe Avocado.

WOW—this kit is for sure a must have. It is so creative and can be used for anyone. I love the pop-up cards and this kit will make it so easy to make them. I thought maybe I would not need this kit–boy was I wrong!!!!

Love this kit, Betsy has out done herself once more! So many amazing birthday options, perfect for a grandma like me with many grandkids who love receiving a special one of a kind card made just for them. Thanks so much.

Oh my goodness… This kit is ingenious! I love all of the interactive elements. I also love that she made sure that there were elements specifically for cards, not just party decor. And the cupcake liner flowers…. Swoon! I knew I’d been hoarding those cute cupcake liners I found at the Target Dollar Spot for a reason. Can’t wait to order it tomorrow!

Wow! As i expected, I LOVE this kit! The interactive dies are amazing and innovative. What surprised me the most are Betsy’s ideas of using cupcake wrappers. Pure genius! I will be sitting at my computer tomorrow anxiously waiting to order this kit. Then, I’ll be stalking my post person.

This kit is wonderful! There’s always a need for a birthday card, I love the pop ups! This kit will get used over and over again! LOVE the cupcake flower wrapper and the cupcake Betsy made with the cute cherry on top! I definitely think this kit is the one for me!

I am totally awe struck. This kit is just darling and I’ve been waiting to see it since the tease we had earlier for it. It was worth the wait and am looking forward to adding it to my collection. Betsy, your creativity knows no bounds…what a gift for all of us!

Wonderful kit. I love the dynamics and textures of the elements. You are so talented and I’m glad I found this site. I have Papertrey dies and stamps that are so go to. Always look forward to see what’s next.

This kit is AMAZING!!! I honestly don’t know how Betsy comes up with such amazing ideas that she’s then able to execute so flawlessly (I’m sure magical PTI powers have something to do with it!). I would LOVE a chance to win this kit b/c I can’t afford it this month & the thought of not having it makes me very sad! Thanks for the chance to win!

With 4 grand kids this would be a wonderful way to make their birthday celebrations really ROCK. Also there are about 40 ladies that meet on a regular basis where I work and I make cards for them and I am sure they would love the creations made with this kit.

WOWZA…this new Make It Market kit is nothing short of amazing! I will watch the videos and check out the DT’s wonderful creations over and over until order time 🙂 Betsy is totally awesome! I just love everything in this Party Pops kit.

This will be my 1st time ordering a kit.(If my name isn’t drawn :)) The kit is absolutely the bomb. The colors that have been chosen are truly grand. They would make anybody gleam from ear to ear. This is an awesome set. Kudos to Becky!!!

Betsy continues to create another drool worthy kit! Everything is so stinkling cute, and so much thought was put into making it easy for all those dies work with one another to create unforgettable projects!

Wow – in love with this kit! Congrats to Betsy on creating something with such potential, even after all the expendable items are gone. I love interactive cards, and I can already see the possibilities in creating cards for kids and adults!

The videos sold me. When I read through the information, I thought the kit was cool, but wasn’t sure I’d use it. Then I watched Betsy explain it all, and my mind was changed! From “cool” to “gotta have it.”

How is it possible that Betsy continues to blow my mind each and every time?! She is incredible. I love the way the team has used this kit and how wonderful to have Lea joining. I would love love to have this fun interactive kit make its way to my home….the sooner the better! 🙂
